There are the meaningful tattoos
You could quite literally have
"the world"
in your hands
With the ink littering the
fresh
bright
skin
The meaning that could be
Held place underneath
Some only
Known to you
Those are the best
The hidden little secrets
You have to think further beyond to unlock
Multi colored
or
Black and white
It holds a story
***
Then there are tattoos you get
Drunk one night
Waking up to
Find something new
The regret of having and ex's name
After never being able to
Say it without pain
A tattoo with a meaning
You don't understand anymore
Something you don't want to see when your older and wiser
When you have read the last of a novel
The insight to another realm of knowledge
That leaves you wonder why
There are two tattoos
The good
Or
The not so good

- Comment from author about the poem: Hi everyone! This is a little piece I just put together. I saw this tattoo that had the words "the world" in the middle of the palm. It got me thinking about how much meaning a tattoo can have. This poem is also like a metaphor for not throwing yourself into an open flame. To take life a little bit by the horns and don't do things without thinking of how it will affect yourself in the long run. As always I hope you enjoyed this little piece. I hope it gave you som insight! All the love PL xxx❤
